In the last few miles, I could see the "bonk" monster gaining on me, I made it back before he could catch me. I didn't eat an hour before the ride, I think it cost me some performance on the climbs coming back. I will save this vlog and watch it again before I attempt a century ride later this year.

Good point about fuelling for intensity. I put 6000+KMs on last year but have never really trained. Started a Sufferfest plan due to lockdown. Mostly doing sessions that start before 7:00. Just once did I try a 1 hour hard session on empty. I was amazed how badly that went (compared to minimal fuelling for an hour outside). At least a banana is needed to get me through pre-breakfast turbo sessions.

Interesting video, despite being acutely aware of this, I always struggle to eat enough on rides. Getting enough carbs is surprisingly hard and I've made the mistake of thinking i'm eating enough calorie wise, but picking random cereal bars which don't quite cut it as far as carbs are concerned (meaning you'd need about 5 an hour). I also feel I reach a point where I just can't get the fuel on board fast enough :P -- Tend to find sweets to be the most effective fuel, but sometimes a little awkward to eat while riding. Though on the flipside, I struggle to not eat too much outside of rides haha xD appetite constantly revved up to 200%. I don't overeat on training days, but do on rest days :S

I trained for a 24 hour Paris ride and did a couple 100+ km rides. One fasting, the bonk set in after tackling Buckhurst Hill homeward bound and another eating which went better. Day of the real ride was beset with stoppages for photo opps and broken bikes, totally messed my eating and drinking up and was a wreck by Newhaven. Dieppe to Paris I got the ratios and timing right, it made such a difference and I felt strong for the whole distance, was a tough lesson to learn because eating that often while exercising just felt abnormal but now it’s just second nature.

What about the 1000+kcal of muscle glycogen storage? If you've had some carbs the night before you should be good for a 1 hour hardish turbo session in the morning or 2-3 hours zone 2. Use the extra carbs for races and long group rides, don't become dependent on carbs particularly sugars.
@WillGirling4 жыл бұрын
Hey Richard. So, let's break this down. The muscle glygocen stores you have are dependent on many things - have you had a maximal amount of carbs the day before, have you exercised that day, the choice of carbs (Gi). After an overnight fast your liver glycogen stores are depleted. These are directly responsible for maintaining blood glucose levels so you will still under perform if you don't have a pre-ride meal the morning of carb load or not. I haven't advocated "carb dependency" I suggest mixing in fasted sessions with fed sessions to maximise enzyme production for both carbhoydrate and fat. But also appreciate that new and novice riders are massively in-effcient machines and are less able to use fat so would be unable to complete what you're suggesting. Further the enjoyment of riding can be reduced and beginners possibly even stopping if they find it too difficult. They don't need to do anything fasted for a while. Saving carbs just for race day with decrease your ability to perform early morning intense sessions, lower carbohydrate efficiency. Sugars are also not bad dependent on context - consuming hi Gi carbs during exercise is imperitive to maintaining blood glucose levels,
@richardmiddleton77703 жыл бұрын
@@WillGirling It's just what works for me, I actually perform worse sometimes if I eat before hand, after all we are designed to 'hunt' and catch prey on an empty stomach. I also find a lot of people bonk BECAUSE they are so carb dependant. Part of training is to become more efficient, it just takes time, a new cyclist will find it hard at first whether they are fed or not, a new cyclist also should NOT be doing hard sessions, even experienced cyclist only go hard 1-2 times a week in training.

It’s worth thinking about cravings on long rides. When I did the Marmotte I craved cake, when I did my Everesting, I craved peanut butter or anything savoury. Something to consider, though it can just sneak up on you & you may not have those peanut butter sarnies to hand
@Cade_Media4 жыл бұрын
the salty food craving is real, but goes away IMO when you keep on top of electrolytes
@WillGirling4 жыл бұрын
Agreed cravings can suggest needs - but most likely simplified - cake = carbs, peanut butter = salt. Possibly a good way to listen to them and provide a solid choice in turn as nuts will be really slow digesting and won't actually provide any performance benefit, possibly opt for a carb based savoury option?

Apples are also an underappreciated bike food, as they're full of electrolytes, easy to digest and robust to carry (unlike bananas!).

Common sense would dictate that one should try for a bowel movement and take a wee before heading off naturally after having a feed and a quick shower if need a dump . It's also a good idea to carry some toilet tissue in case of emergency . I carry some in a plastic bag I carry my phone in to use Strava and in case of a break down in my jersey pocket . Lidl have a good range of individual packet energy bar type stuff that's quite affordable but my favorite are Ma Baker cherry flapjacks from the health food shop . I prefer the idea of heavy brown bread and peanut butter wrapped in tin foil myself over all I like to stop for a test and a munch anyway . Maybe a few Panadol or nutrafin would be handy to carry too in case of a pain developing dehydration causes head aches so drink plenty .

Your body has enough carbs stored for the first 45 min - 1 hour of your session. Nutritionists and people who know their stuff suggest taking in gels after that period. I guess 6-7 gels for a hard 3h ride don't sound that daunting, maybe even less if you consider some ripe bananas as well.
@Vicks73 жыл бұрын
Interesting video although disagree that better to eat more than less. If you eat more you can run the risk of gastric distress which can then take time to resolve. If you eat too little you can quickly rectify and take more gel or other carbs. Key is to always stay hydrated with electrolytes in balance as without that you cannot absorb carbs as well. I am speaking more from the endurance perspective.

Realised only recently that I have under fuelled almost all my training rides based on this video. Would say though, 80g carbs an hour, read that 60g an hour is the most the body can take in, is there certain ways to help boost carb intake?
@WillGirling4 жыл бұрын
Hey bud! So glucose uses one train and maxes out at 60g an hour - so glucose, maltodextrin, dextrose, - but you can use another train for fructose of up to 30g an hour. Products like SiS Beta fuel, Maurten 320 mix both offer a a 80g per serving sachet or you can try making you own.... a video me an Francis will be doing.

@@WillGirling thanks Will, looking at the price of the Maurten stuff i think a DIY version would be appreciated!

Everything said here assumes your goal is performance. If there's any mistake a person could make, it's making assumptions.

Just recalled, when I was at the national level and these new power-bars etc. became thing (before that was flat coke, really dating myself now), coaches would tell us, you might as well eat a candy bar (think they were probably just being sarcastic), but it got me into the habit of treating myself every now and then to an Eat-more. Dark toffee, peanuts, and chocolate. Bit goey in the summer, and rock hard in the winter. 😋

This video might as well have tip 4. Not taking your bike out with you for the ride! Absolutely pointless

I eat bananas and dates. I've never checked their carb content but it seems bananas is too low on carbs realistically. Then again for me, I rarely ride for more than two hours.
@Cade_Media4 жыл бұрын
that's fine for 2 hours, the first hour you'll be fueled well from whatever you've eaten just before anyway!
@richardmiddleton77704 жыл бұрын
The bananas need to be more ripe and brown which increases the sugar content.

just spotted a video I thought people might appreciate. not sure if you game but if you get tired of zwift for your virtual rides: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHXTiHibmtmIg68 XD Nutrition is good topic to cover especially as we enter the season where long important rides are often had and wow is it getting harder to catch your uploads before anyone else LOL.
